Justin Time.. Redneck rave… Jesse Howard.. Outlaw Nation.. here’s a little story I know about the history of these 2 artists..
Years ago, I want to say 3 or 4. I recall Jesse Howard telling me about an event he was traveling to it was called “Redneck Rave” and it was expected to be BIG crowd with so many in attendance. This was one of the many times I witnessed another level of eagerness and dedication out of him and his wife Beverly both. As a 11 year student of the music business I have developed an ability to see characteristics, and can easily determine if someone has the passion and drive I feel is necessary in this business.. This same drive I witnessed was what originally attracted me to Jesse and ultimately ignited our friendship and future endeavors.
Jesse went to the redneck rave, came back and was telling me how grateful he was to get to perform in front of all those people and just be heard. Not long after that their were rumors going around about artist who were never compensated for their performance at the event. Now whether they deserve to be or they should have accepted it as a blessing, that’s another story for another time… So to cut that story in half, Jesse was always grateful for his opportunity to perform, not only grateful but he was willing to borrow money, sleep in a low budget motel, and eat off the dollar menu for that same opportunity that many artists couldn’t find gratitude in. This is a common trait I’ve found in people who have driven themselves straight into success. Something that would soon been inevitable..
Justin Time, his music & his RedneckRave events have gained national and even worldwide notoriety and publicity as VICE followed him to one of the notorious events in attempts to see why all the fuss was about at these Mud park music festival style events. From what I’ve witnessed, his consistency and hard work has surely helped his rise in 2021 and 2022 is looking just as promising for the Country Rap Artist & Event Promoter.
Jesse Howard along with Outlaw Nation member & pretty much brother Nu Breed have had a thriving year as their international hit single “Welcome To My House” which has been streamed over 25 million times, the music video has over 57 million views & the record reached #1 on iTunes Rock charts!
